As the first consumer projector manufacturer licensed by Texas Instruments for DLP, Runco and its engineers built the projectorís optical light engine around 3 SuperOnyxô Digital Micromirror Devices. This eliminates the need for a color wheel, thereby reducing mechanical complexity and achieving superior clarity, color saturation, and contrast. The VX-2c system is packaged with Runcoís new DHD digital video controller/processor, and is the winner of Custom Retailerís 2004 Excite Award. The CW-42HD is a state-of-the-art HDTV-ready, flat-panel plasma display monitor that offers a resolution of 1024 x 768 and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It is one of a few high-definition plasma displays capable of high-altitude performance, operating at up to 9,000 feet. This new model also features an anti-glare filter for diffusing direct light sources, making images easier to view under adverse lighting conditions. The CW-50MC monitor integrates Runcoís exclusive ViViXô processing onto a modular controller card that contains all of the video processing circuitry necessary for superb image reproduction. The CW-50MC has a native resolution of 1280 x 768 to accommodate all HDTV sources, and maintains a viewing angle up to 160 degrees.
